New Yorker

This is my favorite bridge of all time. Now that I live in Brooklyn, I like to think of this bridge as a connector of my homes, former and current. I am a true New Yorker- born and raised in Long Island, attended university in Manhattan, returned to Long Island for medical school, and now living the life in Brooklyn for residency training. I never want to leave New York, there's no other place like it!

Emergency Medicine Physician

I am an emergency medicine resident physician in the heart of Brooklyn- where all the action happens! Being a doctor strongly influences my writing. I work with a great team in the ER. The city never sleeps, and neither do we!

Grand Prix Equestrian

When I am not doctor-ing, my favorite avocation is horseback riding. I have competed in several Grand Prix events. There is nothing like the feeling of soaring through the air over a jump taller than yourself. This is Champus, and yes, he is a champ!

Animal Lover

I am a huge lover of all animals, especially dogs and horses. This is my pet Chihuahua, Pico. He is such a cutie and a funny character!

Traveler

Though my home base is New York, I love to travel and experience new things. My family's roots are in Greece, which I have visited many times. Here I am enjoying a sunny day and the lovely tulips in Amsterdam.

My M&eacutem&eacute

My grandmother instilled within me a passion for reading and learning. Without her inspiration, I would not have pursued the journey of becoming a writer.

About Me

My thirst for writing started when I was a child, writing simple stories in rainbow-colored journals. When I managed to figure out how a computer worked, I started typing stories and poems and saving them on floppy disks (remember those?!) Throughout school I continued to write anecdotes both as assignments and for fun. I used to write pages of fiction and pass them to my friends between classes. At age 13, I first had the idea of composing a novel, but didn't really think my writing "had what it took" to make it. It took years away from my pen and my blank document computer screen for me to realize that "having what it takes" doesn't make me a writer- WRITING makes me a writer. It is my dream to bring my stories to life and make my readers feel as much enthusiasm reading my work as I feel while writing.
